Sheesh...
You do now that Gnome is just a GUI, right? You can just yank it out, and slap yours favourite.
And yes, been using Gnome On my NixOS for 4 years now, and No, I've never used MacOS. I prefer minimalist/simplistic clean view. Wanna get dirt on my hands? I just dive into console, or ignore the GUI altogether with Ctrl+alt+F2/F3/F4.
Funny thing is, it don matter what libraries where used in any app scarfolding, if I install it on my computer (again, NixOS), it WILL ALWAYS run!
But I will say this... Developing GUI on qt is a breeze (Abit complex, yes; but predictable. So simplex?)
I'm curious though, why do you think of it as trash? I would like to hear your perspective of this
You're an odd type. NixOS is for the gratest of Chads, like myself. But you're a level below me, I'm the ultimate Chad using Xmonad configured with real men's pure functional Haskell. You're ashamming yourself using Gnome for fags, so much you have to Ctrl+alt+F2 when someone wants to see your computer desktop. But if you have an anime girl waifu as your wallpaper, then we can forget about it.
Desktops interfaces are not just GUI, it's a style of life.
Nevermind Nix reproducibility pros if you're using it to damage the environment with your dirt rotting Gnome foot while runing.
GNOME is trash because it has an odd logo, extensions break with every update, developers refuse to listen to users, is a MacOS clone (no originality), can't even put icons on the desktop view, is not cute.
๐ Now I really wanna see the configs
Not ashamed since my way of life is simple, as I just hope into nvim with tmux on my console, press F11 and into the flow I go.
True. But again, have you seen KDE Desktop recently? It's cluttered everywhere (no offence KDE users, nothing personal) some icons oversized it's hilarious, so much so that I'd rather jump straight into i3 or xmonard.
Again, I'm all in for minimalistic clean view, if xmonard can provide that then I just might slap it on my laptop (love keyboard for navigations).
Don't forget to share the configs bruv. I'm interested to see your setup
Here's my Chad xmonad.hs. Maybe later I can share my relevant NixOS config for X and xmonad. But you'd be better off using a Wayland wm like sway or hyprland. I just don't switch because only xmonad has this genius "Contexts" functionality provided by third party library.
nvim LMAO not even helix. I'm OG Chad GNU Emacs using the original functional lang lisp, stomp your nvim
At least in KDE if we don't like something we can actually configure it. Stupid GNOME we need extensions that break every fff update to change it.
True. On the contrary, Gnome has gotten better, cant remember last time that Gnome crashed.
For a guy that hates "MacOS" Gnome this much, I didn't expect this. thought you being a Chad, you would raw-dog the sh*t out of it using top and lsblk.
BTW who is using skype these days? But since you're using alacritty, I'll let you off the hook.
I've noticed that you haven't bind your media and volume keys (and brightness control keys). You have a separate machine for those, Right? (window laptop Lol)
I have these GNOME apps just so I can attest from time to time they're really trash and are not improving. Isn't that self-evident?
I talk with my granny over Skype because that's what she's used over a decade now. Can't help it. Are you the kind of a sociopath who would rather not talk to you family over Skype? I also talk with my therapist over Skype; I have told her how GNOME broke my heart.
Yea ngl the media and volume keys only work on Windows. I have to dual boot for when I want to watch a movie or a show.
LOL Got'em!
